+Now the desktop files internationalization is handled trough xml-i18n-tools;
+so DON'T EDIT THOSE FILES DIRECTLY, they will be overwritten; instead
+edit the corresponding *.in file.
+
+In those *.in files each entry preceded by an underscore (_) means there
+can be localized entries; eg:
+
+_Foo=blablalbnla
+
+means the produced desktop file will be like:
+
+Foo=blablalbnla
+Foo[ab]=dfsdfsdf
+Foo[xy]=cpakgdoijnqd
+
+etc.
+
+The translations are taken from the po files in the po directory.
